Scientists found that ants and other natural systems use optimization algorithms similar to those used by engineered systems, including the Internet.

Ant-colony optimization algorithm is an evolutionary learning algorithm which could be applied to solve the complex problems.

Optimization 3: Combining/Balancing MPI Ranks and OpenMP Threads Summary Background: The ACO Algorithm When ants search for food, they deposit pheromones along their paths, which attract more ants.

ABSTRACT Growing concerns about the environment, energy dependency, and the unstable fuel prices have increased the sales of electric vehicles. Energy-efficient routing for electric vehicles requires ...

Dr Schönrogge added, "Ant foraging behaviour has previously been modelled by computer scientists and ecologists, resulting in the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO), a major advance in the ...

However, there is still not much discussion on the use of metaheuristic algorithms for workflow analyses. This paper proposes the use of a systematic approach that entails the ant colony optimization ...
